Well, since I had such a nice comment requesting the Ice Cream Social printables in boyish colors, I thought I would oblige! Sometimes you get what you want just by asking nicely! I hope you like them Melaine! And I hope that someone else out there likes them too… Just drop me a comment or an email at emmyandgabbie at gmail.com to let me know you used them, and if anyone sends in some pics of the printables in action, it would make my day… :-) Just click on the pic below to download a PDF document containing all of the party supplies…

Updated 4/9/12: The original file had demo text on the invitations page, which was not editable! So sorry! And thank you so much to the reader who pointed this out! I have fixed the file, and now you can edit the invitations as intended. The link is still at the bottom of the post!

Hi again! I finally have a second to post another freebie… My Ice Cream Social Printable Party Pack in the Rainbow Sherbet color scheme! I have had a recent request for this, so I hurried to get it on here. Sometimes with three kids, I cannot find much time to blog – or design for that matter! Please click the links to download, at the bottom of this post, and also make sure to read the Read Me First file that has explanations, etc. in it. Enjoy!

Hello there, I have been gone a long time. I’m sorry! I’m sure you have lots to do this summer too though, and let me just tell you, I have been totally caught off guard by this summer. Kids keeping me super busy! But I have returned to blogging to make an announcement…

Drumroll please….

:-D

I will be offering a lot more free printable invitations, labels, stickers, etc. on my blog. You see, I have so much more fun when I’m making things for free. Like for friends, or to giveaway on the blog. Making things for profit is never as much fun. And having a successful Etsy shop is very hard when you’re a SAHM of three kids. I just don’t really have the time to devote to it right now, to drive traffic to my shop, and I don’t really want to spend money to advertise. Does that make me lazy??? Sorry if it does.

My shop has been more of a fun hobby, and a means to a little extra money, but without the proper time to devote to it, it really is VERY little extra money. And I really want people to use my stuff. I don’t want it to sit stale in my Etsy shop! So, I am seriously thinking of closing up shop, and just blogging and offering my creations for free. So I think I’ll start by putting my entire Ice Cream Social Party Pack on here for my loyal readers. Let me know what you think of it, and if you use it I would especially looooove to see some photos! Here is a small preview image of what you’ll receive in the free printable party pack:

Thanks so much for your patience while I was taking an (unannounced) break! Download link below… And as always, these free files are for personal use only, not commercial, and if you want to share them with your friends, please send them here to download! Thanks!

After watching the news coverage of the Japanese earthquake & tsunami aftermath last night, I decided to give all proceeds of my new Mermaid Party Pack this week to help Japan. It was really shocking to watch – the huge waves washing cars and boats away like they were toys…. I cannot comprehend the full scale of that disaster. 25% of all of my shop sales will also go to Samaritan’s Purse for Japanese Earthquake Relief…

Anyway, on that sad note, here is my newest addition to the Etsy Shop. The Mermaid Party Pack, which includes:

• 5″ square letter panels for making a party banner, in every letter A-Z (also 2 to a letter sized sheet)

• 1 letter sized sheet of 2″ round cupcake toppers that feature a starfish, a purple clamshell, and the number of the birthday child’s age, or the first initial of their name, if you wish. (12 toppers per letter sheet)

• 1 letter sized sheet of 3″ round treat bag seals (on the large size, but they are so cute!) that feature the mermaid with a talk bubble that says “Thank You!”

If you want any other items, such as party hats, juice box labels, etc. you can add them on as a separate custom order for $3 per item.

Here is a closer look at the invitation…

Also, as stated in my listing on Etsy, the mermaid can be customized, here are a few examples:

All proceeds of this party pack go to Samaritan’s Purse this week, and I will designate the funds specifically for Japan earthquake relief. Also, 25% of all of my shop sales this week will go to the same fund.

Let’s all be thankful for our safety and the fact that we can just drive to the grocery to get food, instead of searching for it…

– 3″ square food labels which are formatted as an editable pdf (which is a super-convenient feature, you can open it in Adobe Acrobat and just type in your labels!)

– 5″ square banner panels in every letter of the alphabet

– Straw flags for ice cream sodas that also come to you as an editable pdf!

Here is a preview of the invitation:

And here is the Rainbow Sherbet variation:

Here is a look at the Rainbow Sherbet Party Invitation:

The same labels and straw flags that are editable in the Ice Cream Social Party Pack are also editable in the Rainbow Sherbet variation of course. Only text is editable, not colors.

And, as promised, here are the freebies – the matching address labels for each set, in editable pdfs! If you want the font to match when you print your labels, before you edit these pdfs, first go here to download the free font “DeLouisville Small Caps”. The free versions for both Macintosh and Windows are listed on the bottom of the list. You will have to create a free MyFonts account to do so, but you won’t be sorry!

After you download your font, just install by opening the font file, and clicking “install font” on a Mac, and right clicking on the font file in Windows, and selecting “install font”. Then you’re ready to print. Of course, if you don’t care if the font matches the invitation, then your computer will automatically substitute a system font.

As always, our files are best printed on high quality paper and cardstock, in borderless Letter sized printer settings.
